In a chocolate specialty shop located in Dazaifu, colorful chocolates are lined up inside the store. The chocolates are blended with a focus on organic ingredients, using locally sourced materials from Kyushu. Each piece is handmade, so no two designs are the same! Perfect for Dazaifu souvenirs, the "Plum Blossom Song" won an award at a chocolate contest. Inspired by the plum blossoms with the color of ruby chocolate, it pays homage to the new era name "Reiwa" and the plum blossom banquet, creating a beautiful contrast between the crispy mochi and the smoothness of the chocolate inside. Ruby chocolate has a good balance of acidity and sweetness, resulting in an elegant taste. It's amazing that there is a shop in Dazaifu that makes such wonderful chocolates! They also offer items like pudding choux cream, parfaits, and cakes for dining in, so I would love to try those next time!

"Prinshu" is a chocolate dessert shop that opened in December 2020. Located near Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine in Fukuoka, it is a hidden gem just a short walk from the main street. The dessert itself is a perfect balance of softness and firmness, with a refreshing taste that doesn't overpower. It holds its shape well between the choux pastry layers but melts in your mouth with a gentle touch. When eaten with fresh cream, it creates a harmonious sweetness. While you may think of using a fork, biting into it is the way to go. Visit And Myuu Chocolaterie in Dazaifu, Fukuoka for this delightful treat!

I received a gift of eclairs from my mother-in-law, which she jokingly called "obligation eclairs" instead of "obligation chocolates" (laughs). It seems that a famous chocolate shop has opened a branch or moved to a new location. The eclairs come in two flavors: strawberry and chestnut. The strawberry eclair is filled with bitter chocolate cream sandwiched between choux pastry. The choux pastry also seems to be made with bitter chocolate. The strawberry flavor spreads in your mouth, complemented by the slight bitterness of the chocolate, enhancing the acidity of the strawberry. It is not too sweet and tastes delicious. It may not be sweet enough for children. The chestnut eclair is filled with custard cream sandwiched between choux pastry. The choux pastry is also made with bitter chocolate. The texture and flavor of the chestnut spread in your mouth, followed by the taste of custard cream, enhancing the sweetness of the chestnut. This one is moderately sweet and children would enjoy it too. It is also very delicious. After enjoying such delicious eclairs, I am already thinking about what to give for White Day. Thank you for the delicious treat.

Among the various chocolates for sale, I purchased this one because of its cute appearance. The combination of ruby chocolate's beautiful pink color and the crispy texture inside is nice. It is a small size so you can eat it in one bite. I think it would make a good souvenir due to its nice appearance.
